Notes for Senior Design
- During the first senior design course, EE 496A, you will be asked to select a project to work on during EE 496B and C. You will be expected to make considerable progress in EE 496A toward defining your project goals and outlining steps toward that goal. This can be difficult to do in just 10 weeks if you haven't given any thought to your design project before enrolling in EE 496A. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that you explore possible projects and, if possible, select one during the preceding quarter.
- The writing course, EE 330, is a prerequisite for EE 496A. This requirement is strictly enforced. Also note that passing the University Writing Proficiency Exam (WPE) is a prerequisite to EE330.
- Also, in your study plan, make sure to take courses that will prepare you for the technical aspects of your specific project before taking EE 496B and C. These courses will likely be in your area of specialization but can also be courses such as EE 445, Microprocessor Interface Design.
- Effective Summer Quarter 2006, EE 496B has been increased from a 1-unit course to a 2-unit course to more accurately reflect the amount of work required to complete your project.
